Red Stag are beyond abundant and trophy quality is outstanding. Lots of Fallow and was not on my list until I saw the droptine.

If you bring ammo through Australia be sure to have the appropriate approval letters from all airlines. I had to give my ammo to the police in Melbourne as I did not have a letter from Emirates, new policy.

SUMMARY
REMARKS

Problems
of Hunt:

Only in deciding which stag to stalk.

Highlights
of Hunt:

Harvesting 3 very old trophies; all were in their last year. Shooting a 531 SCI Red Stag which was not doing well due to age and an injury probably from fighting. I was offered him with an approximate 50% discount due to his condition. He is an exceptional trophy. The ram turned out to be the biggest challenge as we were looking for a real trophy.

Equipment
Recommendations:

I used their rifles so only needed to bring a box of ammo.

yes

Why?

Mike and Deborah Wilks are great hosts and the hunting is out of this world. We also went fishing during the mid day as it is only 30 minutes from the lodge. Great fun to catch dinner and then stop to get crayfish (lobster) from the pots. They use a local restaurant owner/chef to prepare dinner. Top notch as well as the wine. Lastly, my trophies were cleared into Chicago within 2 months and then off to the WildLife Gallery.
